God or some other great being of creation
Must have been having a sugar rush
When they made the first golden Labradors.
They gave them eyes 36% cocoa chocolate brown.
Glazed with mischief and innocence.
Turned their fur the pale gold of a Caramac bar.
They used a chewed up piece of black liquorice for a nose.
Implanted a flap of candy floss pink as a tongue.
And gave a tail that can wag faster than sherbet fizzes in your mouth.
They made a creature that can melt hearts
Tougher than Scarborough Rock.
A vision of delicious cuteness.
